In “Garden Song” (a track that makes heavy use of the Lossy plugin), Pasadena native Phoebe Bridgers sings about a “bridge at the Huntington.” We don’t know that this is the exact bridge she’s referring to, but it is a famous bridge at the Huntington Gardens.

As a grad student at the University of Michigan, Goodhertz co-founder Devin Kerr spent countless hours working on his first plugins at the Duderstadt Center. These early plugins laid the groundwork for Goodhertz and later, Lossy.

As an undergrad at Columbia University, Goodhertz co-founder Rob Stenson spent countless hours at Avery Library, honing the skills that would one day make this ugly website possible.

Together with the previous clue and the mp3 references, this clue was meant to help detectives triangulate the Goodhertz connection.

Tom’s Restaurant is where Suzanne Vega wrote “Tom’s Diner,” the song Karlheinz Brandenburg used to test the mp3 during its initial development. This connection later lead to Suzanne Vega being dubbed “the mother of the mp3.”

Connections to Tom Majeski, Seinfeld, and Columbia are coincidental, though Rob did eat here at least twice while studying at Columbia, and Tom did work on this pedal.

Early in its development (back in 2014), the Goodhertz Lossy plugin was codenamed “3pm” (which is mp3 backwards).

And the face in the background? That’s Heinrich Hertz, namesake of the international unit for cycles-per-second. Variations of this same portrait also sometimes appear in Goodhertz advertising and on the Goodhertz site.
